three screws, two behind the panel where the door latch is, one in the bottom of the handle. both areas are covered by a plastic piece, pry these off with a screw driver.

once they are out, the door latch will come out. its connected to a metal bar via a plastic clip. the metal bar has a 90 degree bend in it with the plastic clip clipping on both sides around the bend. i fyou swivel the clip around the metal bar on teh short end, you can unclip the part thats latched onto the long part. its hard ot explain, but youll see immediately how to take it off once you get there. also the power lock switch is there, and will come off piece of cake.

now that youve got the one screw out the handle, the handle piece pops up and out, revealing two more screws, take those out.

the window should be rolled all teh way down at this point, and youve removed the sail panel. now tug at teh door panel out starting at the handle or at the bottom and work yuour way up. the top is hanging on the door itself, so the top wont "unclip" like the bottom does.

now simply pull the panel away to clear all the white clips and lift up to get the top off the frame. this will also be very apparent once the door is unclipped.

good luck!
